Chapter 281: Chapter 281 The Only Heir
Logically, Hao Yansen should have agreed to her help, but he simply declined, “No need, Bai Lang is inside.”
Jiang Kerou, having been rejected, had a somewhat stiff expression, but she continued to speak anxiously, “But I’ve heard that Grandpa Hao’s condition is very serious, I could help at least a little.”
“That’s right, let Kerou in. Her medical skills are also quite good. How could Bai Lang be enough by himself?” Hao Zaiye said with a frown.
“Yeah, let Miss Jiang have a try,” others also chimed in.
“The surgery cannot be interrupted right now, her going in would be useless. There’s no need for you all to stay here either, go back and wait for news,” Hao Yansen ordered with a stern voice.
He truly didn’t want these people here.
They were of no use being here, and not a single one of them genuinely cared about the old master’s condition.
Upon hearing his words, Hao Zaiye frowned, “Uncle is in a critical state. How can we leave? He is the patriarch of the Hao Family; if something happens to him, it is natural for us to stay by his side until we’re sure he’s all right.”
“That’s right, we won’t leave. We need to be sure that Grandpa is okay before we can rest easy!”
A cold sneer flashed in Hao Yansen’s eyes.
You all just want to be sure whether he’s really dead or not before you can rest easy.
These people, one by one, are full of ambition, all coveting the position of the Hao Family’s head.
Hao Yansen didn’t have time to watch their hypocrisy here.
His gaze grew colder, his tone brooking no argument, “I said no need, all of you go back! If anything happens, I will send someone to inform you.”
“Uncle, you are getting on in years, it’s better for you to go back and rest. Grandpa will be fine, I am here to support everything,” Hao Yansen’s tone became even more authoritative.
Although Hao Zaiye was his uncle, he didn’t dare to go against him.
Because Hao Yansen was the sole heir of the Hao Family.
Seeing his firm attitude, Hao Zaiye could only compromise, “Alright then, we will go back first, and come again tomorrow. Asen, if there’s any unexpected news about uncle, you must inform us promptly.”
“Rest assured, I will notify you immediately,” Hao Yansen responded.
Only after receiving his promise did Hao Zaiye and the others leave with hesitance.
Jiang Kerou, however, was somewhat reluctant to leave.
She walked up to Hao Yansen and softly consoled him, “Hao Big Brother, don’t worry too much, Grandpa Hao won’t have any issues. If there is anything I can help with, just tell me. Even though my medical skills are not as good as Brother Bai, they’re not bad either, and I can be of help.”
Hao Yansen glanced at her and simply nodded.
Jiang Kerou gave a slight smile and then turned to leave with the others.
On their way out, Hao Zaiye and the others kept discussing the old master’s condition.
“It really looks like the old master is in grave danger, not sure if he can pull through this time,” someone said, unable to restrain from leading the conversation.
The others inevitably began to talk as well.
“I think it’s very difficult. He’s old and his health has always been poor; this time might be very dangerous…”
“If he doesn’t pull through, Asen will have to officially take over everything. Uncle, isn’t that right?” someone deliberately asked Hao Zaiye.
Hao Zaiye said authoritatively, “Asen is the sole heir. If uncle passes, naturally it’s his turn to take over. But he’s already over 25, also at an age to be getting married. You all know the rules of the Hao Family; the heir is supposed to marry and have children by 20, and he’s delayed too long. So this time, we cannot postpone his marriage issue any longer, right?”
